HEAD
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the head of the costume. If you are reviewing only a set of ears, your answers would also go in this section.Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear this piece of your costume.
Head is more snug putting on than anticipated, but not much so as to seriously impair putting on. Once on, fits well and sits securely, making wide array of movement possible without falling off. Visibility is good. However ventilation is only reasonably possible through through the mouth due to being a resin base, so the head can get stuffy quickly. Horns have a good amount of give without being loose fitting. All in all head feels solid and not overly fragile and doesn't require highly delicate handling / transporting.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
Final appearance matched given reference very well. Fur is high quality and brushes smoothly. Eyes are static as requested. Expression is good, in range of what was requested and can be made expressive with use of the hinged jaw.
TAILS
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the tail(s) of the costume.Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear these pieces of your costume.
Tail fits on belt loops, sits securely and is easy to put on. Construction feels solid. Tail is too short, as requested, to be felt moving or wiggle too much.

Tail matches reference well and overall appearance is good. Pattern done well.

Highly satisfied overall with both suit and maker. Maker does high quality work, especially with construction and furring. Suit was definitely worth the price paid and seems as it will last for a good while.
